A REAL Christmas Tree!!

So, this year Paul decided we needed a REAL Christmas tree. Paul went and picked it out himself!! i was SO proud :) As you can see, Gunny thought Paul needed help putting it up :) Gunny also thought the tree tasted good, i caught him several times with pieces of it in his mouth!! Oh the joys of a boxer puppy, oh and he also ate a green glitter ball of the tree!! Fun times!!

On the right is the finished product!!

The Bachelorette!!!

Whats a wedding without a bachelorette???? Before Mary's big day she just HAD to go out and have one last fling before she put on the BLING!! We started off the night with dinner and ended it with a bang :) the following pics have been edited as not to get any of us in trouble ;)

Happy Birthday MARINES!!

November 10th marked the 235th birthday of the United Stated Marine Coprs!!! The Marines have existed since 1775, even before our country did!! They have served and protected our country in times of peace and war.

As an American, i have always had the utmost respect for our military men and women. But when you have a family member in the military, it bring a whole new light to the term "serve, honor, and protect". It is such a humbling experience to attend Ball each year and to see all the Marines in their dress blues as they stand tall and salute our flag. It brings me chills just thinking about it!!

To all those who have served or are currently serving in the military i say THANK YOU!! and to all the family's who stand behind these service men and women I say THANK YOU too!!

SEMPER FI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (always faithful!!)
